There is a falling off in the active inquiry
noticeable for the past few days, though the
business yesterday was as good as it was the
day before. The tirmness in outside markets
has but little influence on local prices, as
they had not responded to the recent decline
at outside points. Receipts amounted to 13I
cars and shipments were twentyseven, Du-
luth receiving seventy-one cars. Almost all
the wheat on the sample tables was new
wheat. The decentralization in the hay mar
ket continues and sales are reported as low
as $3.50 for poor stock. Following are the
closing quotations: No. 1 hard cash in store

.Note-New wheat sells several cents below
old wheat of the same grade, as the present
demand is chiefly milling demand and new
wheat is not sufficiently matured for making
flour. The difference is greater in lower
grades.
Note-In sales of wheat by sample, grade
has little, if any effect in making prices, that
being determined by quality and the percent
age of hard in each parcel.
Note-Shippers would do well not to ship
new wheat until after it has gone through the
sweat" as it frequently sweats in the car
and inspects a lower grade.

Flour-This market runs along steadily
with little to complain of. Of course millers
would be pleased with more active request
shape than during the earlier part of the
season. Buyers as well as sellers appear to
operate with more satisfaction, though all
admit the scale of profit is low. There is a
fair amount of forward sales reported by
millers with a reasonable demand, both
foreign and domestic for the remainder of
the product Patents, sacks to local dealers,
$4@4 20; patents to ship, sacks, car lots, So 95

Bran and Shorts-The market for both Is
weaker though, at the reduced price the stuff
is offered at, it sells freely for prompt deliv-
cry as well as for forward sales at about $40
for bran and S11.50.
Corn-The demand is moderate with sales
of good samples at 37137c, o. t.
Oats-The receipts are steady and full but
with good request stocks are cleared off
generally without having to go into store at
about 25@26c for new, the outside for No. 2
white; choice old sometimes brings a cent OF
SO above new.
Barley-Barley is beginning to arrive and
good brewing stock is taken by local brewers
at 40055c.
Flaxseed-sells at the mills at about csc
for good seed.
Feed-Mixed feed sold freely at about
S14.25 for good feed; choice held at S14.50
o. t., SIS delivered.
Hay-This market is very weak with sales
of wild at Ss@S.5O ton; offerings very
large.
